Scientific Imagery

We routinely apply scientific imaging techniques to the study of artworks and employ a variety of methods that allow the greatest possible precision for evaluating the initial state of a work and the different stages of its material history.

High precision digital photography and the use of three-dimensional capturing technology reveal imperceptible details in artworks.

The use of wavelengths located between infrared and X-rays provide highly detailed image and allow a better understanding of the artist’s creative process through the analysis of their technique.

Chemical Analysis

The use of chemical analysis plays a crucial role and makes it possible to obtain qualitative and quantitative information regarding both the nature and characteristics of the material used.

Depending on the case, these methods can help authenticate a work, determine its age, its history, and causes of its damages, thus revealing the most suitable strategy for its conservation.

The elementary and molecular characterization of pigments and binders reveals the intimate and profound identity of an artwork.
